Why Your Thermostat Matters More Than You Think
Let’s talk thermostats, shall we? We all have one, but do we really know how important it is? Maybe you feel like your 30-year-old thermostat is doing the job “just fine.” You may want to give that a second thought. Many homeowners don’t realize just how much influence a thermostat has over comfort—and cost—in their home. Let’s explore the benefits an updated thermostat can bring to both your comfort and your wallet.
Do Some Detective Work First
Before you assume the thermostat is to blame, it’s worth ruling out a few other common culprits.
Check your weather stripping
Doors and windows leading outside should have weather stripping to keep your home’s inside temperature unaffected by what’s happening outdoors. If you can see daylight around a closed door, or feel hot or cold air seeping in around a door or window, it’s time to reseal.
Check your air filter
An air filter that isn’t changed regularly accumulates dust and dander, making air harder to pass through. A clogged filter forces your HVAC system to work much harder than it should, which makes the whole system less efficient.
If you’ve checked both of these and your system still isn’t performing, that old thermostat on the wall may be the real issue. And if it’s the same one your grandmother had when you were little—the answer is yes, it’s outdated.
The Benefits Of A Programmable Thermostat
Programmable thermostats, with or without Wi-Fi capability, offer real benefits for your home. Installing one gives you control over how much energy you use for heating and cooling, which in turn saves you money on your utility bills. And who wants to hand the utility company more money than they have to?
A programmable thermostat automatically adjusts your home’s temperature throughout the day, helping your system run as efficiently as possible. Instead of heating or cooling an empty house, a programmable thermostat can shift settings at certain hours—different temperatures for day versus night, or for weekdays versus weekends. The options are practically endless.
Take It A Step Further With Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi-capable thermostat does everything a programmable thermostat does, plus it lets you control your home’s temperature right from your phone or tablet.
So when the weather swings from winter to summer in the same day (gotta love Louisiana weather), you can adjust your home’s climate from wherever you are.
No more waiting until you get home to make a change—just pick up your phone and adjust away. It really is that simple.
